Trying to be less offensive:

Sorry, I should have written up a notice that portions of some of that music may be occludable to some ears.

Now I owe myself 48 cents I'll be a baron at this pace

I watched Michael Jordan continuously get his ass handed to himself while the Celtics were playing the Lakers in the Finals. After that, I watched Michael Jordan continuously get his ass handed to him while the Pistons took on the Lakers in the Finals. Spectator Trophy for The Greatest of All Time, I suppose. And if you want me to get into the actual stats, I can do that.

Yeah hahaha. Now tell me who exactly your 'greatest of all times' have beat, and let us have a discussion.

Here it comes: This video requires payment to watch

This isn't a question, Tom Brady would have never survived as a quatrerback in the 70's, 80's, or 90's. And Jordan was about the best basketball athlete to play basketball, Magic Johnson was the best basketball player I will probably ever see.

Yeah, if you didn't have any way to compare, 'what I've seen before my own eyes,' to ANYTHING else, then yeah, Tom Brady and Michael Jordan are what your dumb-asses refer to as, The GOATS'. I'll counter with, Michael Jordan and Tom Brady never beat anybody good, ever. Definitely nobody who was great while they weee in their prime. Lucky timing to be the greatest of all time...

Hello parents- Please don't let coddled children think they have a right to decide... anything. Have them listen to Mudhoney, instead:

I mean no offense to the Who, Stones, or any of the majestic bands who made mostly stunning music up until the point where they were difficult to listen to. These guys broke the aged-people *****-irrelevance of sound with this song:. I honestly think this may be the most important American song in the past 25 years:

frickin' adore this band.

I get it on an individual level, but somehow I don't feel the world is worse-off with less employed programmers. And 'AI' will ultimately lose to Captain James T. Kirk. Programming will never have leadership.

I totally believe in the power of this board to turn the 80's into a better decade than my OP... but those were pretty much the headliner acts of the decade (and I'm so glad we've moved on). Love!!! The Bangles- was a bit young, but the Paisley Underground movement caught my attention. I hope to have Suzanna Hoffs' lovechild someday: I got really sick of INXS later on, but they had a couple early tunes that were great!! I think both of those are fringe players on the Mt. Rushmore. And then there was the 120 Minutes version of the 80's.

'Thunder' Dan Majerle and Detlef Schrempf felt like more infuriating mid-long range shooters, but Bird was amazing with his lazy lopers a couple feet inside the arc. Magic was three players in one at all times, so Bird needed every bit of team around him to compete.

The Boss: beating out Debbie Gibson, Janet Jackson, Poison and U2, rounding up my 80's Mt. Rushmore of bands:

Absolutely Madonna: The event of the decade:

It's not like I dropped off the planet the moment 2000 struck. Some of that list I know and others I'll check out- thank you. That said, as we came into the 2000's, something went missing ... from bands like The Strokes (see Pavement), The Killers (see The Kills) and Black Keys (see Frustrated Incorporated) it just started feeling so rote. The FCC Act of 1996 destroyed radio and almost certainly brought about the shitturd smorgasbord of hardly listenable bands being foistered upon the decent peoples of America.

You talking Wall of Voodoo? Pretty sure that was 70's/ early 80's, but I may be confusing some of that with the Vapors. Edit: thanks to the power of not having to remember much of anything due to the internet, Mexican radio was '82 and The Vapors were 1980. Do I sense 2 obvious entries for the 'Mt. Rushmore of the 1980's' thread?

I had a roommate once who was addicted to Crash Test Dummies. I came through it alive and am not addicted to Crash Test Dummies... amazingly I can't even name a single song. He also watched Tombstone for like 50 straight days, nonstop, no lie - film major, and he was studying every last nuance I suppose. I still like Tombstone, but I only caught bits and pieces in passing during his psycho-hunker-down.

Want your mind blown?

Crap I spaced Bjork. I'd imagine she'd be very much front and center on the Mts. Rushmore. Fruitful writing: And that OH MY GOD voice:
